Comfortable, well equipped, house in a great location

The house is in a perfect location for exploring the charming city of Amersfoort and its good selection of restaurants, cafes and bars. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. Ingrid is a very friendly and helpful host. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, comfortable home with everything you need

We had a wonderful time at Johan House! It is an amazing, historical home, and Ingrid takes such great care in making sure the house has everything you could need. The beds are super comfortable. It is located on a quiet street, but right in the center of town. Amersfoort is beautiful, the people are so kind, we had a great trip!

A wonderful property in a beautiful location!

The owners are very responsive and helpful and the house is lovely - comfortable beds, full kitchen facilities and great bathroom. As the property is just off the main shopping street in Amersfoort it is very convenient to get to all the sights and shops in this historic medieval centre of town. There is also a designated parking space in an underground car park.

Magical.

I visited with my wife and three girls for four days. I would absolutely want to return again and spend a week or more. The listing did not disappoint. The house itself reflected the very lovely mature charm of the city of Amersfoort but offered the modern comforts necessary. It's location was very convenient to walking around and exploring this small ancient city. Our kids loved it. It was clean, quiet, and very comfortable and Ingrid and Henk were fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond when we had some extra needs and made us feel very taken care of.

Lovely house in a great location and a very friendly host

Our family (two adults and two children) spent about three weeks at this lovely house located within the old part of the town of Amersfoort. The house is located among narrow cobblestoned streets and we nearly had a heart attack when we arrived and thought about how and where we would park our car. There were no problems though because we had free access to an underground car-park a short walk from the house.

The house is located a few minutes walk from lots of great shops and restaurants. It is also a central place for visits around The Netherlands including De Hoge Veluwe national park where you can ride the free push bikes.

The house is very well furnished with modern touches and includes a nice kitchen with all the facilities you could hope for.

The host, Ingrid, was super helpful e.g. loaning our kids a soccer ball so they could play in the nearby park and did everything she could to ensure our visit was as pleasant as possible.

About Ingrid Winterink

This is me, Ingrid. Together with my husband, Henk, we purchased the 'Johan House' in 2008 when our backyard neighbor moved out making it available. This opportunity happens only once in a lifetime. We meticulously renovated it to meet all of our dreams and are thrilled to open it for business. Next to running the vacation home, we also have a catering business, so if you would like to have a meal prepared, ask away!

Why Ingrid Winterink chose Stadskern

Amersfoort is a quaint and charming city located in the heart of the Netherlands. Amersfoort is a city with a small town coziness and with big city benefits. All facilities like shops, restaurants (you will find a.o. Asian, French, Spanish, Italian, and even TV-award winning Dutch kitchen), museums, cinema and theater are within walking distance. The city of Amersfoort organizes many free of charge open air festivals suitable for kids and/or grown ups.

What makes this house unique

Some of the key features of the 'Johan house' is its unique central location in a very old and charming city center, yet very quiet and safe at night. Around Amersfoort are many natural parks and reserves which can be visited by boat, bicycle or car. We rent out bicycles and can help you in making a nice 'green' itinerary. Public transportation is extremely well organised. All big cities in the Netherlands have direct connections with Amersfoort Central Station.

Guestbook comments from the owner

Ingrid and Henk,

We wanted to thank you again for the tremendous hospitality you extended to us during our stay at Johan B&B. Our stay there was the perfect ending each day to our touring. We've told everyone here how wonderful you both were and how enchanting the B&B was. We loved Amsterdam and Amersfoort and hope to someday return. If we do, we'll definitely contact you to reserve the cottage again. Take care and thanks again for a lovely time.

We appreciate your participation and assistance with our efforts to operate the most secure and trusted vacation rental marketplace in the industry
